Here it is! Sadie’s compact mirror that is stolen by a pickpocket in Pittsburgh’s Union Station in an opening scene of Return To Me. The compact belonged to Sadie’s mother. I’ll have it on display at my book signing at the Penguin Bookshop. I love the wreath border and striped ribbing of this silver-plated little beauty that dates back to the Roaring Twenties – it’s even engraved with the first letter of Sadie’s mother’s name, Audrey.
